RCD Espanyol 1-1 Valencia

Current streaks

Recent form

RCD Espanyol

RCD Espanyol's recent form has been patchy, with the club struggling in 17th position in La Liga. The team have experienced a difficult run, losing three of their last four league matches, including a heavy 4-1 defeat to Athletic Club. Despite a convincing 4-0 victory in the Copa del Rey against San Tirso, Espanyol have struggled to find consistency in the league, failing to keep a clean sheet in their last five matches across all competitions. Their defensive frailties are evident, conceding an average of 1.83 goals per game in their last six outings. On a more positive note, Espanyol have been involved in some high-scoring affairs, with 67% of their recent matches featuring over 2.5 goals. However, their goal difference of -3 and their inability to string together a run of positive results highlight the challenges they face as they attempt to climb the La Liga table.

Valencia

Valencia's recent form has been rather inconsistent, with the club struggling to find their footing in La Liga. Currently languishing in 20th position with just 7 points from 11 games, Los Che have managed only one win in their last six matches. Their defensive record has been a mixed bag, with three clean sheets in this period, but they've also conceded three goals in two separate matches against Las Palmas and Real Sociedad. Valencia's attacking prowess has been particularly concerning, scoring just 5 goals in their last 6 games, with an average of 0.83 goals per game. The team's inability to convert draws into wins is evident, with three stalemates in their recent fixtures. Notably, Valencia are on a five-game winless streak, highlighting their current difficulties in La Liga.

Recent home/away form

RCD Espanyol

RCD Espanyol's recent home form has been inconsistent, with the team alternating between wins and losses in their last six matches at their ground. Despite their low league position, they have managed to secure three victories in this period, including a high-scoring 3-2 win against Deportivo Alavés. However, their defensive record is a concern, as they have failed to keep a clean sheet in any of these games and have conceded an average of 1.5 goals per match. The Periquitos have been involved in some exciting encounters, with 67% of their home games seeing both teams score and over 2.5 goals. Their most recent home fixture resulted in a 2-0 loss to Sevilla, ending a run of two consecutive home wins.

Valencia

Valencia have been struggling significantly in their recent away matches, enduring a challenging run of form. The Valencian side have failed to secure a single victory in their last six away games, suffering four consecutive defeats before managing two draws in their most recent outings. Their goalscoring woes are particularly concerning, with Valencia netting just twice in these six matches, averaging a mere 0.33 goals per game. Defensively, they've been equally vulnerable, conceding 11 goals at an average of 1.83 per match. The team's poor form is exemplified by three heavy 3-0 defeats against Real Sociedad, Atlético de Madrid, and RC Celta, highlighting their difficulties both in attack and defence. Valencia's only clean sheet came in a goalless draw against Leganés, offering a rare positive in an otherwise dire run of away performances.
